Does the ball have to be caught cleanly, or can you bobble it? If it, say, hits the arm, then bounces off the shoulder, then is caught, is it a catch?

I'm sure MLB rules apply, so long as that puppy doesn;t hit the ground, it's a catch.

Now, the angle here would be, if possible, to volleyball-set the ball upcourt before actually catching. Not sure how feasable that would be to do, but if someone could do it, say 80% of the time, he could smoke Federer. I don't know how doable it is though, and would think that it would only be allowed as a bobble, not a self-set.
